What is QCF?
Some Firms That Use QCF
Information on current hiring can be obtained directly from the internet websites of firms and agencies that use professionals in quantitative and computational finance. A sample of such firms and agencies is included in the following links. These links include
- Energy Firms
- Financial Data and Software, Research and Consulting Firms
- Investment Firms and Banks
- Management Firms and Consultants, Money Managers and Pension Fund Managers
- Insurance Companies
- Exchanges
- Financial ECNs
- Federal Agencies
- Other
In many cases, the firms and agencies include solicitation for employment openings at their websites either directly or indirectly. Employment related to the MS QCF program is sometimes listed under specific job titles, such as 'analysts', 'financial analysts', 'financial engineers', etc.; sometimes under specific 'areas' within finance, such as 'analytics & programming', etc.; and other times listed in a general solicitation accompanying the description of the firm's activities. These lists are lengthy, but by no means complete; the lists are included also to give a sense of the large number of investment firms, and large number of fund managers, and the large number of other institutions that use professionals in quantitative and computational finance.
